- High Court
The High Court upheld that a four year starting point for the appellant's possession and importation offending was within the correct post‑2015 range given the mix and seriousness of Category A and B material, the number of video files, offence period and aggravating features under s132A; however a further five percent discount for substantial voluntary rehabilitative work was justified, reducing the global sentence to two years and two months' imprisonment, and the appeal was allowed to substitute that sentence.
